Personal Web Portals are sometimes known as Starter Pages.

They allow you to customize one (or more) pages so access to all your digital resources, e.g. calendar, blogs, news, online videos, podcast, pictures, e-mail,are in one page.

The main ones are Netvibes, Pageflakes, and iGoogle. While iGoogle is for personal use only (that is, only I can see my iGoogle page), Netvibes and Pageflakes allow you to make pages public for others to see.
